Join Team Headway in the London Marathon 2024 and help to improve life after brain injury.

Story

March 2024 marks a decade since we lost my younger brother, Ben. Ben was only 19 years old when he passed away in March 2014. 

I am running the London Marathon in his memory to support Headway - The Brain Injury charity. Ben spent time volunteering with Headway for a number of years. I am sure he would of been proud of the work they continue to do, and any donation to their charity in his name would be greatly appreciated. 

Brain injury can challenge every aspect of your life, walking, talking, thinking and feeling and the losses can be severe and permanent. It can mean losing the life you once lived and the person you once were. We all think 'it will never happen to me', but every year around 350,000 people are admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury. That's one every 90 seconds. A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, Headway is here to help.  Join our team of #HeadwayHeroes taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2024 to help us continue improving life after brain injury. Please take the time to read their inspiring stories and help them achieve their fundraising targets by sponsoring them!£250.00 covers the average cost of emergency travel to and from hospital over a 4-week period to visit a loved one following a brain injury. £500.00 can fund the running costs of our nurse-led helpline service for one day, whilst £2,480.00 can support the service for one whole week.
